I am trying to allocate the coordinates from Excel sheet to Revit Pipe Fitting connector’s such as for Elbow I need to set 2 coordinates and for Tee 3 coordinates.
Hello @ghanekarss and welcome, Mepover have connector location node, written in python or openmep have as well but written i c
@sovitek Thanks for the help. But i am still looking for script or node which can assign the coordinates to each connector of elbow. I have 2 set of Coordinates, and I need to assign them to 2 coordinates of elbow.
I need to assign new coordinates to this two Connectors of elbow. I have set of coordinates but don’t know how to assign them. If you or anyone else help me out that will be much appreciated.
Hi @ghanekarss im not really sure what you mean with assign, do you want write new coordinates to a parameter, or do you want relocate your fitting with new coordinates
Hi @sovitek Thanks for reply. I need to relocate my fitting with new coordinates. but I need to assign the coordinates to connectors.
alright, then try set location or move by vector, maybe
Hi,
I don’t know the exact context, but it would be preferable to recreate the fittings on the pipes (pipes that have already been updated?) rather than modify the position of the existing fittings and then reconnect the connectors to the pipes (system).

yeah would say the same as Cyril, fittings is controlled by cabletray,pipe,ducts etc…and im still not sure what the goal is here, probably relocate the whole mep project…not sure

I am traying to model (using Dynamo) the pipe and pipe fitting based on export data created from Civil3d into Revit. see below. I successfully model the pipe at exact coordinates where Civil 3d model has but now struggling with Pipe fittings to model at the coordinates which are exported from Civil3d Elbows. I have coordinate data(Connector’s x,y and z data for TEE 3 points and Elbow 2 points) of pipe fittings from Civil3d which include Dia, Angle, and Size. I can update the other parameter except the coordinates assigning to Pipe elbow connectors.
.
ahaa…so you have modelled your pipes from these coordinates from c3d, and then just need connect them ? and then i guess your start/endpoint from your pipes is the same as fitting connectors start,end
is there any node to connect them? as I don’t want to trim each pipe.

yeah Mepover, Openmep can help there, they have nodes for that, but you will need pair all your connectors up so every connector match, try a search here on the forum there should be many examples for that
Okay. Thanks for the help.
A great node that can help there is in sparrow. I forget the name of it but it pairs up points that are closest to each other in a set of points, built specifically for rounding ends up.

yeah i have used that one in the old days and works great as well, now i just create a sphere or circle ootb and intersect and count these, for elbow, T fitting, X etc, another could be spring geometry closest from connector point
